About Alexandra
Alexandra Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and she also focuses on issues such as social anxiety, loneliness, guilt and shame, communication problems and questions about life purpose.
She frames sessions as practical conversations. She helps people name what feels stuck, practice clearer ways of saying what they need, and test small changes between sessions. Sessions often address self-love and forgiveness alongside emotional symptoms like worry or low mood.
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. That means she draws on methods shown to help with anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties while shaping the approach to each person's goals. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps over abstract explanations.
In practice she supports people who have recently faced change or who are rethinking what matters next. She helps people untangle shame or guilt that keeps them stuck, and she works on social skills and confidence in everyday interactions.
Clients can expect focused, goal-oriented sessions that combine talking, skill practice and real-world experiments. Alexandra asks about values and life purpose when relevant, and she helps people translate those ideas into manageable next steps.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear strategies and measurable progress. One common approach she uses emphasizes learning practical skills for managing anxiety and low mood, such as breathing and behavioral experiments designed to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations. Another approach centers on addressing shame and guilt through reflective exercises and gradual exposure to difficult feelings, which helps people practice new responses to old triggers.She treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to understand the person's goals, try an approach, and adjust based on how it feels and whether it helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using or change over time.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays or work breaks, avoid commuting, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats can suit lower-bandwidth needs or less camera time, so discussing practical preferences helps match session style to everyday life.
